Charting the evolution of the<br \/>\n\trobot bartender forward from the \u201950s is akin to tracing the history of<br \/>\n\tsoftware technology. In 1973, early adopters were slipping in a punch<br \/>\n\tcard and then sipping Planter\u2019s Punch. In 1984, they were knocking back<br \/>\n\tvodka tonics with the aid of laser-disc software. In 2013, Google<br \/>\n\tconvention-goers downloaded to their phones a Makr Shakr app. In a<br \/>\n\tperfect reflection of the ethos of the social Web, the app<br \/>\n\tsimultaneously enabled drinkers to express micro-specific personal<br \/>\n\tpreferences and encouraged them to create \u201ccrowd-sourced drink<br \/>\n\tcombinations\u201d (which I\u2019m guessing all turned out like Long Island Iced<br \/>\n\tTeas). Where do we go from here?<\/p>\n<p>\tVienna.

Founded in 1999, the festival encourages<br \/>\n\tsemi-serious discourse on \u201cthe role of Cocktail Robotics as an index for<br \/>\n\tthe integration of technological innovations into the human <em>Lebenswelt<\/em>\u201d<br \/>\n\tand documents \u201cthe increasing occurrence of radical hedonism in<br \/>\n\tman-machine communication.\u201d I don\u2019t know anything about the leading<br \/>\n\tcontenders for Roboexotica\u2019s Annual Cocktail Robots Awards.
